‘I can't believe they showed that again' – ITV commentator stunned by Cristiano Ronaldo banner at Nations League final

ITV commentators were left stunned after seeing a banner directed at Cristiano Ronaldo at the Nations League final. Portugal claimed their second Nations League crown after beating Spain on penalties on Sunday evening. 3 3 3 But it was a supporter's banner in the stands that caught the attention of ITV commentators Sam Hutchinson and Andros Townsend. In the 87th minute, when Ronaldo went down injured, the cameras panned to the crowd and caught the sign. A Portugal fan could be seen holding up a banner that read "Cristiano, please let me touch you." The suggestive sign was spotted by the commentators, leaving them stunned. Hutchinson said: "Oh my gosh." Which prompted the former Premier League star to say: "I can't believe they showed that again." Hutchinson replied: "I think we know why." Townsend then joked: "The director has a very innocent mind". The sign clearly left an impression on Hutchinson as a couple of minutes later, it was still on his mind. He added: "I am still laughing at that sign." Despite being subbed off injured, Ronaldo still played his part in the final as he netted the crucial equaliser in the second half. Portugal had already come from behind once in the game as Nuno Mendes cancelled out Martin Zubimendi's opener. After the match, Ronaldo also revealed that he would be staying at Saudi club Al-Nassr amid links of an exit. Ronaldo joined the Saudi side in 2023 and has been the Pro League's top scorer for the past two seasons. Meanwhile, the final was overshadowed by the tragic death of a fan in the stands.
